So jtrain podcast gmail.com sign up for Patreon. Also I got dates. Go to jared free.com we have added to Seattle, La Tempe, Salt Lake City. That's fun. New York, Dallas, Houston. Jared free.com let's go to my complaint. I have three complaints. Two are easier. One's a little tougher. Smoking weed outside of a restaurant. Can we have specific areas? Listen, I didn't think that I'd be the old curmudgeon on the weed conversation. To me, you smoke weed. I think we have to agree that the weed smell is pungent. Would get, I guess any smoke smell would get in the way of food. That is one of your senses. You need your smell to taste the food. And it's. I just think we have this thing going on where anyone who's like, eh, it's a little much there. Whoa, you're not cool. What are you doing, man? You against weed? It's like, I'm not against weed. I just didn't see it going this way. I didn't think everyone would be, you know, puff the Magic Dragoning all over the place, blowing it like they're at a Turkish bazaar. How about we have Arius? How about we have a little bit of class when it comes to our weed smoke? How about we do things in a smoking area. I just think it's like this thing, like with a cigarette. We vilified them to the point where it's probably gone over the edge. We've probably gone too far. And then we have kind of protected the weed smoke in the area, in the towns that allow weed smoke. And there's no thought of like, oh, this is inappropriate. Like, it's politeness, common politeness to smoke. To have things that you. If. I guess it's a bad one to use. A bad example, use. But, like, if I were to, like, start cooking, I wouldn't just, like, cook on top of people. But I guess that's not the same. But I just. The weed smoke, it's just in the areas that allow weed smoke. It feels like it is just free reign. Like, a cigar would be similar. A cigar has a pungent smell. If you're at the beach and you just light up amongst people, I would think you go, hey, everybody, just wanna like, check in. Are we cool? I'm gonna light up a cigar. Are you guys okay with no? Okay, I guess. I don't know. I just hate that. I'm like the old loser. It's making me reflect. I thought I was cool. I'm not that cool. My second complaint, I like to walk the beach when I'm here in Del Rey. Then I walk all the way down to Pura Vita. Puravita is on the corner of Atlantic Avenue in the beach. It is a beautiful corner. And I'm a Pura Vida fan. Mostly for the staff that works there, the people that work there. Young, nice, really just nice people. And I've. Over the months that I've been here, I've struck up conversations with the people that work there. They are fantastic. They do a great job, they work very hard. The line there gets wild. And it's not due to the people working there, it's the clientele. The clientele is not an easy clientele. It's people visiting on their vacation. It's also. It's an order at the counter situation. The other day, I'm at Pura Vida, someone gets up to the counter, they grab a menu and they're like, what do I do here? And it's like, no, no, no, Pull off. Pull off to the left. You gotta. The idea again, this is under the category of politeness. Like, there. I can't tell you how impolite it is to. Just because you have the counter, you don't have all the time in the world. If you pick up the Menu the move. And they're doing this, like with their children. This is a good teachable moment. Hey, hey, little Johnny. Here's what we do. We pick up the menu, we pull off to the left, we say, hey, Mr. Sir. Hey, Chubby, you want to go order first? You look like you're ready. And then I go, yup, I am ready. Thank you. I really appreciate you noticing that. I'm a human being who wants to be on their way to take the menu and stand at the front. You know, it's, it's like seeing a line at the bathroom and then sitting your ass down the toilet and going, ah, let's take out the phone. Just have a little awareness. There's a guy behind you. I'm ready to order my coffee. I'm good to go. I'm gonna be snappy. You're gonna be halfway through the apps and I'm gonna be already done. My last complaint, and this is a tougher one to convey, and it might be because where I sit and stand in my career, but I am on threads, if you're familiar with threads. It is Instagram's answer to Twitter X, whatever that is. When Elon Musk bought X, he they Twitter said, oh, or Instagram, Instagram. Mark Zuckerberg says, oh, we can start something similar. And it seems as though the way it was kind of like divvied up is that all the people on X are these like, you know, these right wing crazies. And then all the good people went to threads. That's kind of the way it's been, you know, talked about, which I disagree with completely. I just think that's stupid. I don't follow anyone on threads, so I am just left to whatever father algorithm tells me to read. So I get a lot of comedians of all levels, skill wise and career wise and everything from I'm at my first open mic, I can't wait to. I've been doing it three years and I should have gotten that bar show to producers. I don't know. It's all stuff I have had conversations with comedian friends in a club about all I. These are every tweet, every thread. I'm sorry to keep messing it up. Every thread I read about comedy is a conversation I've had. It's an, it's an anger I've had, it's an emotion I've had. It's shit I've talked. I can't believe how much it's being done publicly and on a social media platform. I actually again, into the world of politeness and how do you want to be known? And it is. And a lot of them do pretty well because anyone who started comedy Done comedy is is getting on that algorithm as well. And there's a couple things that just drive me crazy. This idea that this thread that did well is now going to be something that can help you career wise. It can't. If you're doing comedy, you have hopes and dreams that are comedic that are, hey, I want to be writing or I want to do, I want an audience so I can do standup. I want to be able to go up the ranks, and I want to do this as a career. And to me, the distraction of talking badly about comedy topics online is you not writing, not performing, not networking. And I guess you could say it's networking, but with other miseries, we're not doing well, it seems like. And I look at this and now I'm reading it and wasting my time. And then what really bothers me, and I'm watching this whole thing. Whitney Cummings, who has been on you up. I would say, Whitney, we would, I would say hello. I wouldn't say that we've ever hung out. We did the one episode of you up she was very nice to. Come on, you can go listen to it. You can go watch it. It was a little bit all over the place. But Whitney has quite a career. And she made a comment about Ms. Rachel, who I didn't even realize how volatile commenting on Ms. Rachel is. And then I just see all of these threads just hammering Whitney Cummings, who then deleted the post and has apologized for it and said she didn't know. Whatever, I'm not going down the he says, she says what? You know, whatever, because it's stupid. But Whitney is what Whitney is. That's, she's established, she's done, it's over. It's all of these other people telling stories and taking real big swings at someone and kind of getting their rocks off that I'm like, do you think this is working for you? Do you think this is a good use of time? And do you think this is interesting? Do you think this is a new thought? And because I get asked all the time, you know, you know, would I weigh in? And it's like, where does that get me? And will that even be interpreted in a way that I want out there? It's why I have a podcast opt into my opinion. I don't know. I, I, I just read these things. It is the sad. And it's like these were supposed to Be the level headed fun. And it's like if you're a comedian, put out your jokes. I would love, let me read some fun stuff. You're gonna hammer some comic because they made a mistake or they didn't or they did. I don't know. It's just one of those things. I'm like, it is wild to see how outlandish people get with hammering someone and they believe that it's bold, but it's actually the safest place they could ever do it. It isn't bold. It isn't a hot take. It is, it isn't even like I, it isn't even a risk. And it seems as though some of this becomes a distraction from what could be someone having a career, you know, and having, you know, commie. I listen, I don't give a fuck about them at this point. I'm distracted. I'm, I'm looking at it. So I, I don't know. Maybe I should get off of threads. Okay, let's do some, some complaining. That that's my complaint. We have two sponsors. Two sponsors today. Lola Blankets. I, I think Lola blankets is like kind of a must. Great Valentine's Day gift. You're gonna make someone very happy and that's what we're looking to do. Valentine's Day gifts should be meaningful, personal and romantic. I have slept in Lola blanket. I put it, I did the move where I laid on the bed and put it on me over the bed, over the covers.

Ticked off Tuesday Papa J Train this relates to your many complaints about this big storm hitting the East Coast. And you know my complaints about the storm and I talked about it on last week's Ticked Off Tuesday is everyone has a friend who is just zoned into the storm is a little bit anxious and anxious produces anxiety. I do believe vibe create vibe and because of social media I kind of get a front row seat to everyone's friend who's anxious. So it does get wearing over time. You're like oh my God. Like I listen, I get it. But I'm also of the nature of like can we see how this play out? I'm not I'm generally like later to things. I need time to think, I need time to look at it, I need time to assess. I need time for it to happen. I I I there's times I wish I was quicker. I am in awe and envious of quick people, quick thought people, people who can you know, give a quick comeback. I don't think I'm that as much as I'd like to be. But when it comes to a storm, you go, I'm going to do what's best as that I can and then hope for the best and then react. I don't like anticipating as much as I like reacting. I mean, that's probably why I like podcasting as opposed to like, you know, I like talking, I like ranting as opposed to like, let's take a look at the history of I don't know, I'm not, this is just how I am. This relates to your many complaints about this big storm hitting the east coast. Let's talk grocery stores, how everyone has bought all the toilet paper and eggs and milk, etc. So that complaint is obvious. Like people being selfish and just taking what they want without thinking about the general public. Yeah, I I there is a thought that like, how long could you be at home for? How long could this storm lock you up? And here's the problem. It is so emotional. No one goes, well, we have 10 rolls of toilet paper, so maybe we just need one more. Like they go, I got to make sure I got 10 more. But here's my complaint. I always get reminded how quickly society will break down if something actually catasat I oh, this is going to go real dark. I always get reminded how quickly society will break down if something actually catastrophic happens in this world. Beyond 10 inches of snow, it will be the frickin Hunger Games. So that is my complaint. The degradation of society is so evident when any small hiccup occurs. J train, is there any way society won't crumble quickly, like within three days? Yeah, I guess that is, I do agree, that is the sad part. If we can't handle this, what will happen when that happens? And that is very true. If we can't handle. Snow is coming, it's going to be icy, it's going to be cold. Stay in the house. How are we going to handle, like, I Aliens comes to mind. If an alien landed here, I think we'd all just start tearing each other's faces off. It would just like be half a second. You know, fathers running away from families, you know, wives just running down the block and, you know, murdering someone else. You know, I just think we're all just gonna like go to like, people go, that's it, goodbye, aliens are here, it's over. And then the alien within like five seconds of getting off their UFO would be like, so, hey everybody. And then everyone just Be like, you know, and fighting and murdering everyone. Like, I. I. The alien wouldn't even get a chance to speak. So, yeah, it is depressing. That does depress me. I had this happen at the airport. I was with. Where was I? This was recent. Rachel Williams and I, we were going from Detroit to Columbus. We get to the airport, and I think I talked about this on coffee with J Train. We. We get to the airport, and the computer systems are down. So all of the people are just standing in that area. Before. Before you go through security, no one can get their ticket. No one can check in their bag. But if you already had checked in, you were good to go. The amount of people just standing and looking to the sky, and you're like, do they at any moment go, oh, I'm the idiot in the movie. I'm the guy in the movie that Brad Pitt knocks out of the way. Like, Because I. At that point, I see everyone, like, looking around, and I'm, like, zoned in. I go, rachel, you go to Europe because she's not TSA free. So I go, you go to your security. I'm going to my security. I'll see you on the other side. And then we went. And I get to security, there was no one in the line because no one could go because they couldn't check their bags, because they went to pen and paper. And I go up to the guy at security, he goes, I've been working here 30 years. I've never seen anything like this. And you're like, man, I can't believe how few people were equipped to handle this thing the way they were acting. Like people were like, hey, we're in line. And you're like, well, we're in a different line. Like, people were just going crazy. So, yeah, it does scare me that anything, any small hiccup, you go, you know when you watch the disaster movies, you see the main character, like, jumping a car and getting out of the car. Like, that wouldn't happen. All roads would be blocked, and you'd be crushed under the masses of people who are all looking to the sky. J train podcast@gmail.com. j train podcast@gmail.com. you can send in your complaints or you can sign up for Patreon. I was supposed to have a networking chat this morning over video. We got set up through a family friend. 45 minutes before the call, this person canceled due to computer issues. That's not a good enough reason. Call me at that point. Let's get on the phone. It's 2026. It's not hard to pick up the phone and call instead. There we go. We're on the same page. They also proceeded to push out the call. Two weeks. I hate that it feels like I'm in the midst of a blind date that this person doesn't want to be on. Why is it so hard for some people to do a simple mitzvah and talk to me once for 20 minutes? It sucks because based on the way you've written your message, you are the one who needs them. They do not need you. And. And when you refer to it as a mitzvah, which Judaism, a good deed. I hear you. I understand that. And they're also doing themselves a disservice by making it two weeks out. Like, honestly, it's going to make this feel like more than it is. And you don't want to be more than it is. You just want to have a nice conversation and go, hey, and. And honestly, when it turns into like, I don't like this. I hate this. I'm with you. I hate when someone's like. When you're like, hey, I just want to just chitchat for five minutes. They go, well, I am fully book this week. I can do it next week. Tuesday, 8pm Are you available? I'll get your email to my assistant. It's like, yeah, this was just me touching base. I want to introduce myself. It is so small. It is so not that. And it does feel like they're trying to level you. They're trying to let you know how important they are. And it's like, I know you're important. That's why I want to talk to you. That's why I want to introduce myself. That's why I want to see if there's any synergy here or if, you know, someone that can get me to where I'm trying to go. And that person on the other end of the line is probably assumed what you want. I will say this. People do this with me and comedy. Like, I would. I guess they're all on threads complaining, I haven't done one in a while. But I get people that are like, can I talk to you about comedy? And I'm like. And generally, I end up more depressed after that conversation than happy because I'm, like, telling this person how, you know how lucky you have to be and how, you know how much work it is. And it kind of feels like I'm talking to myself and telling myself things that I need to be doing. Like, when someone's like, what Do I, how do I do stand up? I'm like, you get on stage, you. You audio record the set and you rewrite the, you know, the bits that you thought would be good and see what worked. And when I say that, you could just see them, be like, well, you do get the vibe. You're like, they're like, well, how do I like, you know, snl, how do I audition for that? You're like, I. I don't know. I wish I knew. I don't know how to so feel good knowing that you will make this person feel bad by the time you do have this 20 minute chit chat. But I do agree with you. It is annoying. It's annoying. And you met through a family friend. I will tell you a story. One of the most embarrassed. And I was always up for these types of calls because I came from an econ major and I sold life insurance so people would always be like. So I kind of played it the way I was taught with life insurance and being an econ major, like, hey, call a friend, ask for advice. People like talking about themselves. So, like, I am a lot like you in the sense where it's like, I've done this, I've had this run around. I was at my grandmother's shiva call. My grandmother passed and we were at her apartment and people were coming over to pay their respects. And there was. And again, like, if you're in banking, I kind of envy you. In comedy, you don't know what person they're trying to set you up with. You have no idea who they're trying to get you to talk to, anyone. And generally the advice is just like, exactly what I would give, which is not much and I can't really help, and I wish I could. And if there's an opportunity where your name comes to mind. Yeah, I'll think of you. Like, you know Lauren Pauly, who opened for me in Atlanta and Charleston? I met her because she came to a show and we met years ago and she was a fan of the podcast. And then she started doing standup and she reached out. Like, that was like, year. That was probably a decade ago. So, like, again, these things take time. You have to. And. And I've just, you know, I was like, she's, you know, I've watched her bits online. I was like, she seems great and she seems fun and nice. So, yeah, open and. And then she, you know, she did my Durham show. She's like, that's the first theater I've done. I'm like, I'm happy I could be a part of that. So, like, I love that I could be a part of that. But it's not like I can be on the phone with someone and go, hey, kid, you haven't done stand up before. Come with me, we're going on the road. You sound funny. Like, no. So. And I've had people reach out and they've annoyed me. I've had so a woman reached out recently. She goes, I'm so and so's. She had reached out in the past and then was like, I'm so and so's friend me again. Can I do five minutes on your New York show? I'm like, no. Can I do five minutes on your New York show? No, I'm sorry, I don't need you on my New York show. The town hall show that's already sold out and I'm trying to sell out another one. Like, what does this do for you or me? It doesn't do much. So I don't know there's a more natural way to do that. But again, cheers to them for trying. Here's the story. I'm at my grandmother's shiva call and my mom has this friend who's like one of those friends that annoys you. She is the type that if you mention their name to people who know them, they would go, oh, I know her. One of those. So she comes to my grandmother's shiva call, she's asking about comedy. She goes, you gotta talk to my good friend. They are a writer and they write for snl. And I'm like, that's amazing. Yeah, I would love to be put in touch with anyone that could help me again. I knew that she was that person that's annoying. But I was like, sure. She goes, they're my good friend. You need to talk to them. They can help you. They. They write for snl. And I go, I would love to talk to. And you what? You, you can't. When you're in need and when you're starting, what am I going to say to this person? No, that's not going to help me off. I'm not. You can't. You have to be grateful. You have to. And what you end up doing is getting. You end up running into train tracks and getting hit by a slow moving train called embarrassment. So she goes, I'll call them right now. This is at my grandmother's shiva. They go, I'll call them right now. They call them right that moment. And they go, I'm here with my friend. He's a comedian. And then they go. They put me on the phone with them right away. So I go into, like, my grandmother's bedroom, and I remember it's this woman, and I'm like, hi. And she's like, yeah, I just. So you. You're a comedian? And I go, yeah, well, I just started doing comedy, and I would love, you know, I would love the opportunity to talk to you and see kind of about your journey. And they're like, well, I'm not a comedian. It's my son, and he writes for snl. And I'm like, right away, I'm like, oh, my God, this is the worst thing that's ever happened to me. It's so embarrassing. And they're like, it's my son. And. And now, if I were that woman, I would be like. And she goes. And we know the. You know, the woman that put us on the phone, my mom's friend. She goes, we know her because we were on a cruise together once, and it turns out they're not even friends. They barely even know each other. And it's the mom of the guy who writes for us. And out. So now I'm like, being polite. Nice. I go, well, thank you very much. She goes, well, what are you doing? Are you doing open mics? Are you writing anywhere? And I go, no, I'm, you know, I'm trying my best. I'm trying to, like, get off the phone with her. She goes, yeah, he, like, wrote for the newspaper at Harvard, you know, have you ever, you know, thought of the newspaper at Harvard? And I'm like, no, I guess I haven't thought of the newspaper at Harvard, but thank you very much. And, like, try and finally get off the phone with her. I was like, this is the worst moment of my life. So listen, I don't envy the position you're in. I'm sure I will have. Listen, I am not beyond calling someone for advice and hearing their story and hoping they can help me out. I am. I'm with you at some point. In some points, I'm in the place where I could be on either side of that call. So, yeah, that sucks. Jtrain podcastmail.com Jtrain podcastmail.com Two more J train big fan. I'm a proud Patreon member. Best $5 I spend all night, all month. Thank you very much. YouTube subscribers. Send all my friends to your shows. And you're amazing. Well, this is very kind. Thank you. Here's my. It was all. Every Shiva call call was worth it. Here's my ticked off Tuesday. I got married this year and I'm in the process of changing my name. It's a lot of paperwork but all expected it. We have had the change my name complaint sent in not to like I'm not trying to like cut you at the knees because I'm interested to hear this complaint. It sounds like a brutal process. It sounds like it sucks. I've already gone into the Social Security office in DMV and now I have my new license. So I put my new name on all my upcoming flights. My major annoyance with this whole thing is my TSA PreCheck won't doesn't work for my new name yet. Doesn't work for my new name yet. And won't until I have my new passport. Since I get guest TSA PreCheck is tied to my passport. I've heard of this before. This is a nightmare. To change my name on my password, I have to mail in a form passport, a passport picture, my marriage certificate and my old passport. This is crazy because it this to me when are you. When you hear about the patriarchy. This is the patriarchy. The fact that this has not been made into a more simple and streamlined process is crazy because I've heard of this before. It's insane. After all that I have to go into the pre check office at the airport to change the name on my pre check and global entry so it's not even automatic. Also, I live in Boston so I'm going to Logan which has unpredictable traffic and no parking to easily access this office. I haven't even checked if I have to make an appointment how long that wait would be. I travel a lot so this means weeks of taking my shoes off, taking my laptop out, going through the big scanner. Embarrassing. Embarrassing and changes when you leave for the airport. This is horrific. Anyways, thought you'd understand since you're a big pre check person. I understand completely. I think this is awful. I think anytime I hear women say we make 25, you know, 70. Anytime I hear women say I make 75 cents on the dollar, I roll my eyes. I think that stat is like a very skewed stat. It's not something I believe in women going to different fields than men. I just I again, you can send me all the data you want. Anyone who says it, I roll. For me it's not something I buy. I am someone who does believe women have a harder, more difficult go at it socially and than men and in business and in work in other ways. I am saying for that Specific stat. You don't get me. If a woman instead said changing my name on my license and passport and my TSA pre has all is. Is costing me money, I would go, yeah, you got me. I'm in. Put me at the head of the march. This would drive me absolutely insane. I. It'll never happen to me. Jared, what if you change your name to your wife's last name? Off. That's not happening. I. The good for some, not for me. But the idea that a woman has to go through this, this is. This is. This is what people should. You know, there's real world things that you go. Everyone would have to understand. Everyone would go, you know what? You know, it's tough being a woman. Holy shit. I didn't even think of that. Cause this is real life. No, this is horrible. I am so sorry you're going through this. This is my worst nightmare. It is mountains of paperwork. Even though someone's like, well, it takes 50. No, no, no, no. This is as bad as it could get for someone. And the fact that it only happens to women getting Married is crazy. Jtrain podcast@gmail.com, jtrain podcastmail.com Jared, huge fan of you in the pod. Thank you. I'm writing to you from the trenches of new motherhood with a very specific bone to pick. I mean, this could end up being another. I might end up being, you know, rbg. At the end of this podcast. I just gave birth to my daughter. Congratulations. My husband and I were in the hospital with our newborn trip, tracking her feedings and diapers on a whiteboard per the nurse's instruction. Man, I'm so far away from having a baby that I can't even believe there's a whiteboard in the. In. In. In the. In the hospital. I didn't even know what tracking. My husband suddenly decided to start logging all his feeding and diaper entries, everything in military time. My husband suddenly decided. My husband suddenly decided to start logging all his feeding and diaper entries in my husband suddenly. I'm sorry, I'm. I. This sentence has me crossed up. My. My husband suddenly decided to start logging all his feeding and diaper entries, everything in military time. I have been with my husband for a decade, have never seen him use military time. This is crazy. He is also, in fact, not in the military. Now, here I am on 22 minutes of sleep, recovering from pushing out a massive baby, and this man is making me do math. At 1500 hours, I finally snapped and told him to stop with the fucking military. Time. Is this a divorceable offense? I actually think it might be. Because anyone who uses military time in a non combat zone is officially on my list. Signed a civilian batch. It's not about being in the military. Not being in the military, that doesn't matter to me. You're choosing now at our most vulnerable point in our lives to make a switch. Any switch done within the first week of a newborn baby is offensive. Oh yeah, I just thought I'd go military time. Yeah, I'm going to wear an ascot. No, I'm going with a fedora. Any of those things is now is not the time. Now is not the time. We have a new baby. We don't know how to do anything. We are afraid at every turn that we're going to do something wrong. And now you're looking to be like, hey cadet, I'll see you at 1900 hours. Are you kidding me? Are you out of your mind? Now you're making changes. Now you're trying to fix your life. You know, I was thinking of going gluten free. You can do it next year on his first birthday. We're going all gluten. We're doing everything we did before, everything leading into the pregnancy. We are leaving. We are going into the birth with. So it's not about oh that. I would have the same answer and complaint if he was a military captain. You don't go. We're not going from Fahrenheit to Celsius. We're not going from regular time to military time. We're not making switches. We're not going to start wearing suits. We're not going to stop wearing socks. We're doing everything the same until this baby gets can sleep through the night. Then we'll discuss whether we're going to go military time or not. I'm with you. I would divorce this guy. I'm a single mother. Yeah, I just, we had to break up because of military time. No, I, I, I'm joking. Don't you seem great? I'm sure he's great. This is crazy. I'm, I want, I. Listen, if everything you say is true, I would actually say to him. What? I actually would go. What made you start today? What, what about this hospital? Maybe. The only thing I can see is that in the hospital they use military time. So he got caught up in all the excitement and now he wants to feel as efficient as the nurse. He felt a little bit of an ego thing with the doctor. You know, the doctor walks in, they know everything. Okay. Looks like your pussy's ready to pop out a baby. We will be back in 1200 hours. And he's like, oh, look at that fucking doctor. Touch my wife. Using military time. No shit. Maybe he felt helpless. Maybe he felt like he was less than. So he wanted to, like, kind of like, you know, pucker up and show that he can do military time, too. That is the only way I can see why he would do such a thing. J train podcast, gmail.com. that is a fantastic complaint. Back next week. Boom.
